this comment really put a smile on my face!

Amazing Alex. Your place looks great.

@@GregoryMcCreanor omg Greg! Thanks for commenting, you're deeply missed. Happy 2025 to you!

I got a Philips TV for my house because of limited budget and it's honestly really good. Best part is the in-built Philips hue lighting.

[@AlexTeo]

maybe next time i try for room tv, do you have the starhub app in the app store?

[@Keithxm]

​@@AlexTeo if you mean StarHub TV+, yes it's in the playstore since Philips TVs are also android.

[@AlexTeo]

@@Keithxm thanks for confirming! i thought phillips has their own app store last time

[@Keithxm]

@@AlexTeo seriously, I highly suggest you get Philips for your next TV. I used Philips TV since 2015 and has zero issue (fingers crossed). Now I am using the 77oled807 and it's beautiful. I got it for $6k on June 2023. A 77" oled at $6k during that time is unheard of, cheapest oled in SG for a pretty decent brand. Similar Sony ,LG or Samsung oled at this size easily hits $10k+?. It's android/google based so you can definitely have more app variety (even sideload 3rd party apps). Lastly, the inbuild ambilight means you do not have to seperately get Philips hue back strips for it. It's really an all in one package tv.

[@chilla18sgsg]

For surround song Sonos ERA 300 is good also you need to add the Sub woofer to enjoy the full experience of the Sonos sound bar.

[@AlexTeo]

yeah I agree, but I'm not so much into audio so see how it goes!

[@chilla18sgsg]

The sub is more for movies not for audio music, try it and you will love it watching movies with Atmos sound.

[@webstertoh]

Hey Alex, thanks for all the smart home videos, i love integrating smart features and Making LLMs and AIs with my system, im getting my new bto soon and looking to do the same! Hope to meet up for coffee one day and and jam about all this!!

[@AlexTeo]

haha nice! embrace tech 💪

[@kenji113]

Great video! always look forward to your videos for local related content. looking forward to the next one

[@AlexTeo]

thankS!

[@hype619]

Do you use an ultra slim mount or a normal one for your tv? I always wonder if an ultra slim mount works for tv light strips.

[@AlexTeo]

you will want around min 8-10cm for the light to bounce off

[@Vexterian]

Thanks for your informative and clear video.

[@keyoke]

Nice set up! Time to add sonos sub 4. 😂 Happy new year in advance bro!

[@AlexTeo]

@@keyoke out of budget haa.. happy new year!

[@intersomemao]

Hi can you share where to purchase the nanoleaf controller?

[@AlexTeo]

from their official website, nanoleaf.me/en-SG/products/essentials/sense-plus/?category=sense-plus&size=each

[@Irenicis]

The Philips Hue TV backlight can still work with a normal LG QNed TV? It only does not work with the LG G series you mentioned in this video (I'm assuming its those thin type like a photo frame)?

[@AlexTeo]

as far as i know, philips hue app sync is only available on samsung tv, have to check specific models... you can consider their HDMI sync box solution

[@benjaminheng3401]

@@AlexTeo Very nice refresh you did to your living room. Any wiring needed for the Hue backlights to the Hue hub? And is the app free?

[@itsthomasYT]

Thank you for the fantastic video! Your flat looks amazing. I have a question about the Nanoleaf Sense+ Smart Wireless Light Switch. I know that you can control Alexa routines with "Philips Hue Smart Wireless Dimmer Switch V2" . But do you know if "Nanoleaf Sense+ Smart Wireless Light Switch" can be used to trigger Alexa routines too?

[@AlexTeo]

@@itsthomasYT I believe it can once they manage to get the matter working well, but not now at this point

[@itsthomasYT]

@@AlexTeo Hmmm, but "Philips Hue Smart Wireless Dimmer Switch V2" also doesn't support matter.

[@yipweienwayne2174]

the philips hue backlight app sync you mention do i still need its hub ? or the strips can work separately by its own with the tv ?

[@AlexTeo]

need hub as it's a zigbee device

[@viscy]

Thanks for the video. What fan do you use and do you recommend it?

[@AlexTeo]

can checkout my previous video on smart fans, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWmWmGBvnNCirpI

[@Endruu]

Thanks for the video! I recently bought a resale in Sengkang and I've gotten a Bravia 7, and I'm considering a Sonos Arc Ultra. Problem is, I do not intend to get additional speakers at the back. I notice your living room layout is similar to the one I'm moving into, left side window, right side goes all the way to the door. Do you know if the surround sound from the Sonos Arc is able to bounce sound from the right side (door side) and reach the viewer's ears as good or effective as the left side (bouncing from the windows)?

[@AlexTeo]

definitely not balance in that sense, i will just run trueplay and let the speakers tune according to your environment

[@Endruu]

@AlexTeo thanks for the feedback!

[@jajabingb]

​@Endruu @AlexTeo How about Sony Theatre Quad? Sonos Arc Ultra plus Era will cost quite similarly to the Quads. You can request for demo at some of the Courts store.

[@Endruu]

@@jajabingb oh! Wait aren't the quads way more expensive? But also I have no area behind my wall to mount it so I might resort to just a sound bar solution

[@jajabingb]

@Endruu I'm comparing Arc Ultra plus Rear speaker setup and Quads. For Quads will be an occasional free bundle with a subwoofer. Sonos are good, too. I'm just giving you more options. The surround sound on both are great. Either one you choose, you'll enjoy it. With Sonos, you can get the Arc Ultra first, and slowly adding the rear speakers if you want more of that bubble feeling.

[@saltknife]

Curious on why don't you consider a Philips Google TV with Ambilight? Good OS, integrated light strips, well priced.

[@AlexTeo]

@@saltknife lack of reviews, I kinda only trust rtings and hdtvtest when it comes to tv

[@itsthomasYT]

What’s the material of the table/desk work top?

[@AlexTeo]

@@itsthomasYT very heavy marble!

[@Liong-sq6xc]

Sonos arc ultra doesn't support google home right iirc?

[@AlexTeo]

you can add sonos speakers into google home but google home don't recognise it as a google speaker whereby you can set whole home audio or choose it as an output speaker for your automations

[@dackjaniel]

Hi Alex, thanks for sharing. Surprised to see the lack of robot vaccums mentioned here. Have you stopped using them?

[@AlexTeo]

@@dackjaniel it's in the kitchen haa, I covered that for the kitchen tour

[@dackjaniel]

@@AlexTeo I see, thank you for the response!

[@keithpointon4067]

What is your clock in the dining area?

[@AlexTeo]

it's something i bought from taobao, there is a website beyond object selling it 10x the price lol

[@ed.venturous3875]

Hi, can share your electrician or any other reliable contact? Thank you!

[@AlexTeo]

DM me on IG for the contact!

[@lenkiatleong]

Nice video. 1) I thought that you would upgrade your wall clock to a large, nice wifi clock that can sync with the internet time server. Oh, would be great if it can chime too. 2) It's time to change your wall world map from colonial format to Asian format where ASEAN is in the centre, Europe on the left and America on the right. :-)

[@AlexTeo]

1. i think many of those require wired which is ugly 2. didn't know there is such format haa, maybe next house!

[@AaronDeadmeat]

Helloooo, nice house 😊, may I have the link for the lights and remote ? 😊

[@AlexTeo]

just added the links in the video description!

[@AaronDeadmeat]

@ thanksss ! Please update us once you have tried more of the switch bot controller ! Am keen to get one 😊

[@learner-popo]

very subtle way of telling locals... no "prison blast"... but it's my advice too. Pls, avoid at all cost.

[@AlexTeo]

🤭

[@mynameisusedz]

Really?..how so. Considering they're at least 50% cheaper...for in my opinion around 80% of the performance, excluding high performance gaming...

[@user-fe1zk5zu7v]

Happy newyr again 🎉 so fast another yr had passed.. ty for ur informative content as usual, only gripe is personally I’m not a fan of sonos sound quality even aft tweaking it wif ikea ekea Peter pee’s advice, decided to sell it off eventually.. neway looking forward to great contents from u in 2025 cheers 🥂

[@AlexTeo]

yeah time flies man, happy new year! so you go with which brand of speakers?
